De Klinge

De Klinge (Dutch pronunciation: [də ˈklɪŋə]) is a Belgian town and part of the municipality of Sint-Gillis-Waas in the province of East Flanders (Oost-Vlaanderen), is located on the border with the Netherlands province of Zeeland and within the non-administrative region known as the Waasland or the Land van Waas.

A statue called De Klomp stands in the middle of the round-about on the road from Sint-Gillis-Waas where the Bergstraat, Hogenakkerstraat, and Klingedijkstraat meet.

Every July a kermis festival, called the Klingse Kalsei Braderij is held on the main cobblestone street, Klingedorp.

The town also has an abbey beer called Klingse Kalsei which is available during this festival and features the Klingedorpstraat on its label.

This beer is not actually brewed in De Klinge but in Ertvelde by Van Steenberghe Brewery [nl].
